How do I start a personal training business with online-only clients?

I’ve been grinding away at my fitness certs and helping friends get in shape, and now I really wanna turn this into a real online-only training biz. Problem is, I’m kinda drowning in info and don’t know what actually matters when you’re starting from scratch. Like… do I need fancy apps? Contracts? Insurance? How do you even find your first legit clients without looking sketchy? I’m super motivated but also low‑key overwhelmed. If anyone here has done this or knows the ropes, I’d love any advice before I dive in headfirst.

I’d start by training a few people for free or cheap to collect real results, then build simple packages, clear intake forms, and a repeatable weekly check‑in system before scaling up.
